boca raton fl: Do I Need a Richmond VA Realtor to Buy New Construction? - 01/14/16 10:37 AM
Shannon Milligan wrote this post about whether or not buyers need a realtor to buy new construction.  I can tell you whether you are in Virginia, as Shannon is, or in Boca Raton, Delray Beach or Boynton Beach, as I am, you need a realtor to buy new construction.  \
Why, you say?  The builder is not going to give you five cents off because you show up without an agent.  Builders sell homes.  They are out for themselves.  You, the buyer, needs a realtor to look after your interests.  Yes, you do - trust me on this.  I have personally built … (6 comments)

This has been a bad allergy season and, more so, if you are close to the ground.  Buttons' allergies have been especially bad this summer.  Despite several visits to the doggy dermatologist, she has not gotten better.  She licked all the fur off her paws from the knees … (6 comments)

boca raton fl: Give millenials what they want - 10/19/15 06:17 AM
This wonderful and oh-so-true post by Jill Sackler speaks volumes.  I have personally witnessed this this past summer - overpriced homes that haven't been touched since the day they were bought.  Sellers, take heed of Jill's post - if your home needs improvement, price it realistically and it will sell.  Otherwise, these listings languish on the market and become old.

What started out as a visit to the dentist today ended up with my phone being stolen.  Hard to believe but true.
 
After making a followup appointment and entering it on my calendar, Maggie reminded me to take my phone, which was on the counter. I took the phone and made a stop in the ladies room downstairs.  On my way out, I noticed two women in scrubs had come into the bathroom.

Testimonial - Azura in Boca Raton FL
 

 
The Internet is a nice aid when looking for an out of state home. However, it does not replace the skills and knowledge of a dedicated professional realtor like Elyse Berman. My husband and I are very fortunate to have found this devoted pet lover during one of our unenlightened Internet searches. We were unaware that many communities do not allow pets at all, limit pet numbers to one or two, or even reject certain breeds. Having three small dogs greatly reduced the number of houses available to us. Elyse is … (18 comments)

Buyers of new construction in Boca Raton, Florida take heed.  Please take a few minutes and read this post by Jennifer Monroe of Charlottesville.  Although Jennnifer is not local to Boca Raton or Delray Beach FL, what she says rings true here.  You absolutely need an agent in your corner.  The builder's agents are nice but, never forget, they work for the builder.

Royal Poinciana Tree in Boca Raton FL
 
This photo shows a Royal Poincianaia tree in bloom in Boca Raton FL.  I see these trees all year.  I drive past all the time.  We are lucky to have an abundance of tropical foliage in Boca Raton.  It is only in the late spring and summer when the trees are in bloom with their bright orange-red blossoms that I really notice them.  Seems strange because they are so magnificent.
 

Some interesting facts about the Royal Poinciana:  It is known as Delonix Regia - regia meaning royal and that is definitely … (13 comments)
